Religion in China

China has long been a cradle and host to a variety of the most enduring religio-philosophical traditions of the world. Confucianism and Taoism, plus Buddhism, constitute the "three teachings", philosophical frameworks which historically have had a significant role in shaping Chinese culture. Elements of these three belief systems are incorporated into folk or popular religions. Chinese religions are family-oriented and do not demand exclusive adherence, allowing the practice or belief of several at the same time. Some scholars prefer not to use the term "religion" in reference to belief systems in China, and suggest "cultural practices", "thought systems" or "philosophies" as more appropriate terms. The emperors of China claimed the Mandate of Heaven and participated in Chinese religious practices. Since 1949, China has been governed by the Communist Party of China, which, in theory, is an atheist institution and prohibits party members from belonging to a religion. During Mao Zedong's rule, religious movements were oppressed. Under following leaders, religious organisations have been given more autonomy. At the same time, China is considered a nation with a long history of humanist and secularist, this-worldly thought since the time of Confucius, who stressed shisu (Chinese:世俗; pinyin:shìsú, "being in the world"), and Hu Shih stated in the 1920s that "China is a country without religion and the Chinese are a people who are not bound by religious superstitions". The Party formally and institutionally recognises five religions in China: Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Protestantism, and Catholicism (though despite historic links, the Party enforces a separation of the Chinese Catholic Church from the Roman Catholic Church), and there has been more institutional recognition for Confucianism and the Chinese folk religion.

Trump: The Art of the Deal

Trump: The Art of the Deal is a 1987 book by business magnate Donald Trump. Part memoir and part a business advice book, it reached #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list and held a position in the list for 51 weeks.

It was the first book by Donald Trump. Trump was persuaded to write the book by Conde Nast owner Si Newhouse after the May 1984 issue of the Newhouse magazine GQ, with Trump appearing on the cover, sold well. The book was co-written by journalist Tony Schwartz and published on November 1, 1987 by Warner Books.

The book was published three years before Trump's financial decline in 1991. Trump's self-promotion, best-selling book and media celebrity status led one commentator to call him "a poster-child for the 'Greed is Good' 1980s". The phrase "Greed is Good" was from the movie Wall Street which was released a month after The Art of the Deal.

Career

Shih graduated from New York University with a bachelor's degree in management and finance in 2009. Around that time he began working at a bank and streaming himself playing Starcraft II in his free time, averaging a few thousand concurrent viewers a stream. Eventually Trump decided to quit his job and began streaming full-time, making a living from Twitch's partnership program by earning revenue from advertisements and subscriptions. He later began playing and streaming Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft starting in the game's beta phase. Trump has been described as "the world's most famous Hearthstone player", attracting over 20,000 concurrent viewers on his stream. Shih streams for seven hours per day. On October 13, 2013 he was signed by Team Razer as the world's first professional Hearthstone player.

As the Me Too movement continues to eat itself up and Democratic politicians find new frontiers against patriarchy, out in the real world, geopolitics continue to dominate. The Trump administration consolidated its balancing China policy in Asia, as highlighted in the latest National Security Strategy, with Secretary of StateMike Pompeo and Defense SecretaryJames Mattis’s visit to India for the first-ever Indo-U.S. bilateral and defense talks. This as China is rapidly modernizing its navy and testing hypersonic missiles that could be used as an anti-satellite weapon. It’s not the only big foreign policy move this week. Washington cancelled $350 million in subsidies for Palestine and withheld $300 million worth of military assistance to Pakistan, enormous amounts of wasted taxpayer money that could ideally be redirected for domestic purposes. All of those moves fade in comparison to a visible balancing China approach, which could be the legacy foreign policy move of the Trump administration, if the president can stay away from needless interventionism in the next two years. Predictably, this hasn’t gotten much mention in the news media, which remains busy with toxic domestic politics. Regardless, this forms a significant and possibly defining development of the Trump administration’s policy regarding China.
